Wow, 18 days without a post. Sorry about that! Between getting a new job, graduating from college and having a life, I've been really busy. Anyway, here is something I've had on my mind lately...

*Hopefully this will be the year that sportswriters finally realize that wins and losses aren't the best way to judge a pitcher's success. Wins and losses are just too team dependent. Take Roger Clemens for example. The man is having a phenominal season, but if you only looked at his 5-3 record, it might not be so clear. However, over 94 innings pitched, The Rocket has 93 strikeouts, 28 walks and a 1.53 ERA. He hasn't allowed a run on the road. He's dominating right now, but his win-loss record is struggling because of the Astros' lack of run support. In fact, in Clemens' 14 starts this season, the Astros have scored an average of only 2.6 runs per game, and through April and May, that number was only 1.6. In April, Clemens lost 3 starts in a row in which the final score was 1-0. Baseball Prospectus' VORP doesn't look at win-loss records, and Clemens is the best pitcher in baseball.

I have to run a few errands before I go to the game tonight, but here are some photos of my friends, Joey and Sobey, getting to see Vlad Guerrero...up close and personal!
